That's almost unimaginable to me. I moved from an ISP account to a Yahoo account about a decade ago. After changing ISP's a couple times in college, it just wasn't worth dealing with switching every time anymore.

i have a few ... some for dicey spam situations, some for registration and some for online purchases etc.

keeping them separate act a sort a firewall for my personal information.

Yep.

I have had the same Yahoo account for 12 years and don't get overwhelmed with spam. It's because I have other accounts that I use for questionable, risky, or temporary stuff. They're like spam honeypots.

"He had no teeth, and he was slobbering all over himself. I'm thinking, 'You can have your money back, just get me out of here. Let me go be an accountant." I can't tell you how badly I wanted out of there."Denver rookie QB John Elway, on Jack Lambert, after Lambert and the Steelers knocked Elway out of his first game as a pro (1983).

I'm mostly curious to see how many people use an ISP-provided email address. I realized today that I don't know anyone my age that still uses one, but a lot of my extended family still does.

I think with the advances in Gmail and Yahoo, and the mobile device explosion, those Gmail and Yahoo options make more sense than ever. Plus, service provider hopping is becoming more common, so that plays into it too.. I use both Gmail and Yahoo, and I even have my legacy ISP email that I still check at home...

I still use the same email address from AOL that I used back in the mid 90s. Needless to say, I no longer subscribe to AOL. The address is just an address and I see no need to change. It works fine with Outlook and K9 so it's fine for me.
